Docs-only PR: adds the living specification docs/specs/bluetooth-ble-sensors.md, answering the community proposal in topic 10555 (BLE sensors decoded by an external integration, e.g. Theengs). No code change — spec first, per the AGENTS.md spec-first process.
What the spec defines:
A. Core — the Bluetooth service stays the single owner of the radio. A scan-lease arbiter (burst leases for today's pairing/presence/lookup scans, expiring auto-renewed stream leases for continuous sensor listening) replaces the hand-rolled scanCounter/scanTimer arbitration; a single advertisement frame format (MAC, address type, RSSI, name, manufacturer data, service data + UUIDs, core timestamp — binary as base64, raw/adapter fields reserved for phase 2); core-side filters (MAC prefix, manufacturer id, service UUID) and throttling (per-lease token bucket + per-address dampener, with honest dropped-frame accounting).
B. Internal consumer API (phase 1) — subscribeAdvertisements() on the service surface, consumed via getService('bluetooth') (the existing nuki/tasmota→mqtt pattern).
C. External integration contract (phase 2) — the external-integrations.md §B.16 capture-and-relay principle applied to BLE: manifest bluetooth observer field with a filter ceiling, /api/integration/v1/bluetooth/lease host API (60 s TTL, one lease per integration), batched bluetooth-advertisement WS stream, and a distinct, revocable user consent (continuous BLE listening reveals people's presence).
D. Deferred / out of scope — passive scan is tied to a future migration off @abandonware/noble (which exposes no passive-scan control); multi-adapter multiplexing deferred (noble is one-adapter-per-process); GATT over the external API and any decoding in the core are out of scope entirely.
E. Verification — arbiter unit tests, no-regression rule for the lease refit of existing scans, external-contract e2e when section C ships.
Also in the diff, per the living-spec rules: a cross-reference at the end of external-integrations.md §B.16, and the new spec added to the AGENTS.md spec list.
Living specification answering community topic 10555: the core owns the
BLE radio through a scan-lease arbiter and streams raw advertisement
frames (with duplicates, core-side filters and throttling) to internal
services first, then to external integrations via a manifest-declared,
user-revocable observer permission — the B.16 capture-and-relay
principle applied to Bluetooth. Cross-referenced from
external-integrations.md (B.16) and AGENTS.md.

This change adds a living specification for BLE advertisement streaming. It defines scan leases, advertisement frames, filtering, throttling, internal subscriptions, external integration contracts, consent handling, deferred capabilities, and verification requirements.
Changes
BLE advertisement streaming
Layer / File(s)
Summary
BLE streaming model docs/specs/bluetooth-ble-sensors.md
Defines radio leases, advertisement frames, filtering, throttling, adapter health, and internal subscriptions.
External contract and consent docs/specs/bluetooth-ble-sensors.md
The specification changes how Bluetooth scan leases and streaming are expected to behave, but key pause-state, abandoned-subscription, and forced-release rules remain undefined. That could lead to inconsistent consumer state or unsafe scan/connection races in future implementations, so the document needs clarification before merge.

A rabbit maps the radio bright,
With leases keeping streams in sight.
Frames hop through filters, neat and clear,
Consent guards each signal near.
Deferred paths wait beneath moonlight.

Stale comment
Docs-only living spec for BLE advertisement streaming. The direction is right: the Bluetooth service stays the single radio owner, the core never decodes, burst/stream leases replace scanCounter/scanTimer, filters and throttling stay core-side, GATT stays off the external API, and listening is an explicit user choice. The B.16 pointer and the AGENTS.md entry match the living-spec rules. No constants.js categories/types, no runtime change.
This is not ready to merge as the source of truth. Phase 1 will be implemented from this file; a few holes would produce the wrong arbiter:
GATT vs stream leases (A.1) — applyOnPeripheral / scanDevice already take a long connect window that stops HCI scanning and currently uses peripheralLookup to swallow discover. The spec replaces that flag and never says whether streams pause, whether scanning is restarted after disconnect, or whether a connect is refused while a stream is live.
Verification (E) — existing pairing/presence/lookup tests assert scanCounter, scanTimer and peripheralLookup. They cannot pass unchanged after the lease refit. Public behavior should stay stable; internal assertions will not.
External contract (C) — WS type bluetooth-advertisement breaks C.4 (external-integration.<domain>.<action>); “exceed the ceiling” is undefined under A.3’s pure-OR; one-lease 409 has no reconnect story; C.3 consent is unspecified as hardware-style stored grant vs manifest-only silent grant on update.
Not risk:high (docs only). needs:human-review + @atrovato — radio ownership, continuous active scan, empty-filter Theengs, and distinct BLE consent are philosophy calls on the service he owns.
Specify the GATT window as an exclusive lease in A.1 (pauses stream
dispatch, restarts scanning on release, bounded by a watchdog), define
the manifest filter ceiling in frame terms and return the existing
lease_id on 409, follow the external-integration.<domain>.<action> WS
naming convention and mark the stream a no-ack exception, persist the
BLE consent apart from the manifest so an update cannot auto-grant it,
and restate the no-regression bar on public behavior instead of on
internals the refit necessarily replaces.

without creating a lease or creates a dormant lease with adapter_ready false,
and specify the corresponding SDK retry behavior consistently with A.1 and C.2.

specify when callbacks occur during recovery. Document that GATT-window pauses
resume delivery automatically, while adapter loss and restoration follow the
defined callback timing.

`external-integration.bluetooth.advertisement` payload to define `dropped` as
the number of frames dropped since the previous advertisement batch for that
lease, reset after each emitted batch, and not as a cumulative counter.
Explicitly state whether throttling, GATT pauses, and WebSocket-disconnection
loss contribute to this batch delta, while keeping it distinct from cumulative
`lease.getStatus()` counters.

Re-review of cd225414 (follow-up on the previous CHANGES_REQUESTED). Docs-only living spec; no constants.js categories/types, no runtime change. Brand names (Xiaomi / Qingping / Theengs) stay examples; decoding stays out of the core.
The follow-up closed the previous blockers:
A.1 — exclusive GATT lease, pause rather than refuse pairing, arbiter restarts scanning, peripheralLookup kept on getStatus().
C.3 — granted_bluetooth stored next to granted_devices, no silent grant on update.
E — no-regression bar is public behavior; internal scanCounter / scanTimer assertions are expected to move.
Two leftover holes would still produce the wrong arbiter / contract:
Radio rule vs exclusive lookup. Exclusive is held for scan + connect + apply + disconnect, but the radio "scans iff no exclusive lease is held". Today applyOnPeripheraldoes scan while peripheralLookup is set. Literal implementation regresses lookup / scanDevice.
Empty ceiling. Frame-terms say a Theengs-style empty ceiling admits every request; the structural check rejects any request that names a key. Also the B.16 pointer still says bluetooth-advertisement.
Not risk:high (docs only). Keeping needs:human-review + @atrovato — radio ownership, continuous active scan, empty-filter Theengs, and distinct BLE consent are still philosophy calls on the service he owns.
…nd dropped semantics
Split the exclusive lease into a lookup phase (radio on, dispatch paused)
and a connected phase (radio off), matching what applyOnPeripheral and the
HCI stack actually do, and size the watchdog above the real scanDevice path
with a no-progress rule instead of a short constant.
Separate the internal onStatus lifecycle channel from onError so a planned
pause no longer reads as a terminal failure, define stream-lease acquisition
while the adapter is down, treat an empty declared filter ceiling as
admitting every runtime filter set, and define `dropped` as a per-batch
delta with its counted causes.

Re-review of fbd8a6f7. Docs-only living spec; no constants.js categories/types, no runtime change. Brand names (Xiaomi / Qingping / Theengs) stay examples; decoding stays out of the core.
The follow-up closed the previous three blockers:
Exclusive lookup — lookup phase keeps the radio on, connected phase is the HCI stop, release restarts startScanning([], true), onStatus not onError, no-progress watchdog with a 5 min backstop, Context line corrected.
Empty ceiling — a fully empty declared ceiling admits every runtime request (Theengs may narrow at lease time); the named-key structural check applies only to a non-empty ceiling.
B.16 pointer — frozen external-integration.bluetooth.advertisement + external-integration.bluetooth.updated, and B.14 listed next to B.8.
Four leftover holes would still produce the wrong arbiter / internal API:
Presence burst TTL. The parenthetical maps scanPresence() onto TIMERS.PRESENCE (the 60 s interval). A literal refit holds the radio for a full minute every cycle — continuous active scan, not today's 5 s burst.
Watchdog vs HCI. Force-release of the exclusive lease without disconnecting leaves noble connected, so startScanning cannot resume and the queued exclusive races the hung window.
Dispatch vs discover.js. Today's flag only swallows the pairing-list WS update; concurrent pairing/presence onDiscover still fires. Pausing all other leases during lookup is a new public-behavior change unless section E says so.
onStatus is not on the signature. The example is still (opts, onFrame) with no pause callback, which is the failure mode the new channel was added to close. Also the method belongs on .device, like mqtt.
Not risk:high (docs only). Keeping needs:human-review + @atrovato — radio ownership, continuous active scan, empty-filter Theengs, and distinct BLE consent are still philosophy calls on the service he owns.
- burst leases last TIMERS.SCAN (5 s); TIMERS.PRESENCE is the interval
between presence bursts, not a lease TTL
- force-release now disconnects the peripheral and rejects the in-flight
applyOnPeripheral before restarting the scan
- lookup phase only pauses stream dispatch: bluetooth.discover.js does not
stop scan()'s own onDiscover, so bursts keep resolving as they do today
- freeze subscribeAdvertisements(opts, onFrame, { onStatus, onError }) on
getService('bluetooth').device, same shape for the SDK

- **`burst`**: the existing bounded scans, unchanged in behavior. `scan()` (pairing screen) and `scanPresence()` each acquire a burst lease of **`TIMERS.SCAN` (5 s)** and release it when done — `scanPresence()` goes through `scan(true)` and inherits that same 5 s timeout. `TIMERS.PRESENCE` (60 s) is **not** a lease TTL: it is the default `presenceScanner.frequency` of the `setInterval` in `initPresenceScanner.js`, i.e. the user-configurable gap *between* two presence bursts. So presence **re-arms a fresh `TIMERS.SCAN` burst every `presenceScanner.frequency`**; it never holds the radio for a full cycle, which would be the continuous active scan a `stream` lease exists to provide. Their external behavior — promises resolving with discovered peripherals, WebSocket `BLUETOOTH.DISCOVER` messages to the frontend, the presence `NEW_STATE` events — does not change.
- **`stream`**: continuous listening for sensor consumers. A stream lease has a **TTL of 60 s** and must be renewed before expiry (renewal = a cheap `renewLease(id)` call; the SDK/internal helper renews at half-TTL). A consumer that crashes or forgets stops costing radio time within a minute — this is the property that makes "continuous" scanning safe to expose.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Make lease abandonment observable before relying on the TTL.
The stream lease has a 60-second TTL, but the internal and external APIs automatically renew it. If a consumer drops the handle or forgets stop(), renewal can continue indefinitely. The lease then does not expire within one minute, so the safety claim in Line 61 is not true. Define a liveness or ownership rule that stops renewal for an abandoned subscription, or require explicit stop() and remove “forgets” from the safety claim.

1. **Lookup phase** — the radio keeps scanning, because the exclusive holder itself needs it to find its peripheral (its lookup scan is granted under the exclusive lease). **Stream** dispatch is paused (and the pairing-list `BLUETOOTH.DISCOVER` update is suppressed, as `peripheralLookup` does today); **burst** dispatch keeps running, so a pairing or presence burst overlapping a details-read still resolves with what it discovers, exactly as it does today.
2. **Connected phase** — the controller stops scanning (single-adapter HCI constraint, not an arbiter decision). Dispatch stays paused.
3. **Release** — normal disconnect, connect failure or watchdog: the arbiter calls `startScanning([], true)` again if any lease is still alive, instead of relying on noble to resume.
- **A GATT window pauses stream dispatch; it never refuses pairing.** While an exclusive lease is held, every lease stays alive; stream leases receive no frames for the whole window and burst leases only for its connected phase (Dispatch, below), and each stream holder is told through the **pause channel, not the error channel**: `paused` when the window opens, `resumed` once the arbiter has restarted scanning (section B for internal holders, `external-integration.bluetooth.updated` for external ones — same reason vocabulary). Routing a *planned* pause through `onError` would make consumers tear down a lease that is still perfectly alive. This lets a holder distinguish "nothing was broadcast" from "the radio was busy". A pairing or GATT request is never rejected because a sensor integration is listening: user-initiated actions win over the background stream. Frames are lost for the duration of the window, not buffered.

Define the initial status for a lease acquired during a GATT pause.
Line 67 defines paused when the window opens, but it does not define behavior for a stream subscription created after the window is already active. That lease could receive resumed on release without a preceding paused callback, which conflicts with the recovery timing rule. Define that new stream leases start paused and receive onStatus({ reason: 'paused' }) before subscription completion, or define another initial-state contract.

1. **disconnects the peripheral** — best-effort and bounded (`disconnect()` is fire-and-forget in `applyOnPeripheral` today; the arbiter awaits it with a timeout and gives up after it),
2. **rejects the in-flight `applyOnPeripheral`** so the caller fails with a real error and its `finally` block does not double-release a lease the arbiter already reclaimed,
3. **then applies the release rule above** (`startScanning([], true)` if any lease is still alive).

Re-review of 9bb3e78. Docs-only living spec; no constants.js categories/types, no runtime change. Brand names (Xiaomi / Qingping / Theengs) stay examples; decoding stays out of the core.
The four leftover holes from fbd8a6f7 are closed, each checked against server/services/bluetooth/:
Presence TTL — burst leases last TIMERS.SCAN (5 s). TIMERS.PRESENCE is only presenceScanner.frequency. Matches scanPresence() → scan(true) and initPresenceScanner.js.
Lookup dispatch — only stream dispatch is paused; bursts keep resolving. Matches bluetooth.discover.js (pairing-list WS only) vs scan()'s own onDiscover. Section E names it as a public-behavior case.
Callback shape / .device — frozen subscribeAdvertisements(opts, onFrame, { onStatus, onError }) on getService('bluetooth').device, same three-argument SDK shape. Matches the tasmota → mqtt pattern, not the usb freeze-object.
Watchdog sizing (4 services / 7 characteristics ≈ 95 s worst case, 30 s idle + 5 min backstop), empty ceiling, dormant stream lease, batch-delta dropped, B.16 frozen WS names, and granted_bluetooth as a stored grant are unchanged and still right.
Not blocking: A.1's "forgets → radio off in 60 s" is the crash / WS-down path; a live handle (internal or SDK) auto-renews until stop() / service stop. A subscribe that starts mid-GATT-window should be treated like a dormant adapter lease (start paused); B already forbids resumed without a preceding interruption. Force-release "give up" after a hung disconnect() is specified; a later HCI reset is implementation.
Not risk:high (docs only). Keeping needs:human-review + @atrovato — radio ownership, continuous active scan as the Theengs v1 tradeoff, empty-filter full stream, and distinct BLE consent are still philosophy calls on the service he owns. Pierre is the author and cannot self-review.

- Semantics: a frame matches if it matches **any** entry of **any** provided list (pure OR — a decoder integration typically knows "my sensors are these OUIs or these service UUIDs"). An empty or absent `filters` object means **everything** — legal, because Theengs-style decoders genuinely want the full stream, but it makes the throttle below do the real work.
- `manufacturer_ids` are the Bluetooth SIG company identifiers (the first two little-endian bytes of `manufacturer_data`); `service_uuids` match against both `service_uuids` and `service_data[].uuid`, normalized to lowercase 16/32/128-bit hex without dashes.
- Limits: ≤ 32 entries per list — enough for any real decoder, small enough to evaluate per frame without indexing cleverness.
- **Throttle, per lease**: `max_frames_per_second` (default **50**, hard cap **100**) enforced with a token bucket, plus an optional **per-address dampener** `min_interval_per_address_ms` (default **0** = off): when set, at most one frame per address per interval is forwarded, keeping the *latest* frame. The dampener is what a sensor decoder actually wants (one measurement per device per few seconds); the global bucket is the safety net for the empty-filter case. Dropped-frame counts are kept per lease and exposed in the lease status (never silently pretend the stream is complete).
- `timestamp` is stamped by the core at reception (ms epoch).
- **No raw EIR payload in v1**: noble parses the advertisement and does not reliably expose the undecoded packet. The field is *reserved* (`raw`, base64) and will be added by the phase 2 stack migration (D.1) — additive, so the contract does not break. Everything the forum proposal lists as needed for Theengs decoding (manufacturer data, service data with UUIDs, name, MAC, RSSI) is present from v1.
- An `adapter` field (e.g. `"hci0"`) is also reserved for phase 2 multi-adapter support (D.2); in v1 it is omitted.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Merged advertisement is the contract, not an implementation detail. A frame carries the current merged view of a peripheral's advertising payload and its scan response, as accumulated by the stack — the two air packets are not distinguishable in a frame, and a consumer must not infer which one carried which field.
### D.1 Passive scan — phase 2, tied to a stack migration
Some sensors only reveal their data to a passive scan, and continuous *active* scanning costs battery on nearby devices and airtime. But `@abandonware/noble` exposes no passive-scan control, and patching it at the HCI layer means maintaining a fork. Decision: **v1 ships active-only**, and passive scan is the flagship reason to evaluate migrating the service to an actively maintained stack (`@stoprocent/noble`, or BlueZ/D-Bus via `node-ble`). The migration is its own project (it touches pairing, presence and GATT paths); this spec constrains it only through the frame contract (A.2), which already reserves the fields (`raw`, `adapter`) the new stack will fill. When passive lands, leases gain a `scan_mode: 'passive' | 'active'` hint and the arbiter resolves concurrent modes by escalating to active (a superset of passive for every consumer that declared passive).
Home Assistant comparison and alternative pages:
- drop the embedded comparison video, which no longer matches the
product, along with the id and the two section titles it needed.
- the integrations takeaway stops conceding the gap and argues we are
closing it: 20 to 67 community integrations in a little over two
weeks, still accelerating.
- the interface sections lead on Horizon. Since version 5 this is the
clearest difference between the two projects, so it is argued as such
rather than as "hard to beat": one project hands you a box of cards,
the other hands you a finished dashboard. The alternative page gets a
matching card, first in the list.
Docs:
- the four onboarding screenshots of "Getting started" are retaken on
the Horizon theme, in both languages, with the house step filled in
like the shot it replaces.
- the Docker image moves from :v4 to :v5 in the four install guides.
Bluetooth groundwork (GladysAssistant/Gladys#2935): the docker run and
the compose file now bind the host system bus. BlueZ is only reachable
over it, which is what BLE sensor reading and Matter pairing over BLE
will need, and it already lets the System settings reboot or shut down
the host without spinning up a helper container.

* feat(home): rebuild the homepage on the app's glass design
The homepage still showed the previous interface and led with the starter
kit. It now uses the same visual language as the app: one continuous
scene of soft radial glows, translucent cards that frost it, ink/muted
typography and pill buttons.
Hero: two calls to action, install Gladys or open the online demo. The
starter kit moves down the page, next to the FAQ, as a quiet aside
(French pages only, as before).
Product shots retaken from the app itself, per locale, in WebP at several
widths: dashboard, comfort, scene editor, energy, assistant. They are the
app's default light theme, where the glass reads best, and a dedicated
"light or dark" section puts the two themes side by side so the dark one
still gets its moment. Together they replace the old hero PNG (3.3 MB)
and the CDN videos.
Sections rebuilt on a small design-system stylesheet
(home/horizonStyles.module.css) instead of the ad-hoc inline styles:
features, appearance, compatibilities, principles, testimonials, press,
videos, FAQ, final call to action, newsletter.
The navbar and the footer go frosted over the scene, gated on a class the
page puts on <html> so no other page is affected.
Two fixes along the way: the starter-kit block no longer depends on
`navigator.language`, which could differ between the server-rendered and
the hydrated markup; and the redesign's dead weight is gone (the old
video thumbnails, play.svg, the react-hover-video-player dependency).

* feat(site): carry the Horizon design across the marketing pages
The homepage was the only page on the new design, and ten pages still
showed the previous interface. This extracts the design system the
homepage introduced and puts every marketing page on it.
The shell is now shared. src/css/horizon.css owns the `--gl-*` tokens,
the scene, the typographic ramp and a remap of the Infima variables the
existing pages were already written against (cards, emphasis greys,
primary, button radius). <HorizonPage> wraps a page in it. That remap is
what carries the theme to pages that keep their own stylesheet, so the
sixteen comparison pages convert without their markup being rewritten.
Nine pages each carried their own copy of a screenshot component, all
pointing at the old hero PNG. They now share
components/horizon/GladysScreenshot, so the shots follow the app from one
place; the energy page shows the energy dashboard rather than the home
one. The Gladys Plus hero drops its old phone mockup for the current
mobile app in a bezel drawn in CSS, which also removes the page's only
use of the colour-mode hook.
Converted: Gladys Plus, the starter kit, the sixteen comparison and SEO
pages, the two use-case pages, the development, open-metrics, contact,
legal and payment pages. The documentation and the blog deliberately stay
on the stock Docusaurus theme, which suits long-form reading and does not
fight the theme on upgrades.
Also fixes the homepage footer: the scene sat at z-index 0, which paints
in the positioned layer of the root stacking context and covered the
whole footer. It is a background, so it belongs behind the content.

The hero subtitle now says so. The page title got its own translation id
along the way: it shared `home.description` with the subtitle, so the
French <title> was the 94-character subtitle and Google truncated it. It
is now a 42-character title of its own, down to 62 with the site name
Docusaurus appends.

* feat(site): give the documentation and the blog the Horizon palette
The marketing pages moved to the new design and the rest of the site did
not follow, so the docs and the blog still read as a different product.
They keep the stock Docusaurus layout, which suits long-form reading and
does not fight the theme on upgrades; they only borrow the palette.
The `--gl-*` tokens move to :root so the whole site can read them. On top
of that: the accent becomes the app's periwinkle instead of the previous
cyan, Inter becomes the base font, the background and surface take the
darkest tones of the homepage scene so walking from a marketing page into
the docs does not step through a lighter grey, the global radius softens,
buttons become pills, the navbar frosts what scrolls under it, and the
active sidebar row becomes a quiet accent pill like the app's nav rail.
Every rule is an Infima variable or a single well-known class.
Two things the darker ground turned up, fixed here: the DocSearch modal
derives from --ifm-background-color and would have sat flat against its
own backdrop, so it keeps the surface tone; and the hardware page's
product button was white on the accent, barely 2:1, now ink on accent.

* chore(site): retake the product shots from the updated demo
The demo fixtures moved on: the dashboards, the rooms, the quick actions,
the scenes and the assistant conversation are localised now, so the
French pages no longer show English widget names, and the chat shows the
tool calls the assistant makes.
Same set as before, recaptured from the app in light mode, EN and FR:
dashboard, comfort, energy, scene editor, assistant, the Gladys Plus
phone, and the dark dashboard the light/dark section pairs with. The two
sides of that pair are now a minute apart instead of five, on the same
layout.
The three unchanged files are the English scene editor, which has no
dynamic data and compresses byte for byte.

* feat(blog): add the version 5 announcement, in English and French
Covers the project's history since 2013, then the 92 pull requests
merged since 4.86.1: the Horizon design across every page, the mobile
work (bottom dock, swipe pager, coarse-pointer touch targets, portalled
popups), the flexible dashboard sections, the rewritten scene editor,
the 67 community integrations, the assistant's tool calls, energy and
the protocol additions. Ends on a migration section for Home Assistant
users and the two calls to action the homepage uses: the demo and the
install guide.
The nine figures are captured from the demo instance built on Gladys
master, in both languages, at 2400px wide in WebP. The integration
catalog shot serves the live store index and its cover images from a
local copy, since the sandbox browser has no outbound access and the
demo downloads both straight from the browser.
* fix(blog): rework the version 5 post from review feedback
Figures:
- the Horizon section now shows two close-ups instead of a full page: a
zoom on the top of the Home dashboard (glass radii, the house view
widget) and a zoom on the device controls (segmented controls, setpoint
capsule, nested tiles). A full 1440px page shrinks both to nothing.
- the mobile figure now tells a use case: the home screen, the controls
of a room, then the full-screen light panel with its brightness slider
and colour wheel. Captured on a dashboard trimmed to large widgets, so
the chips bar of the wall-panel home screen no longer crowds the top.
- every shot holding the demo camera is retaken on the new garden
snapshot, the social cards with it.
- a close-up of the composer, for the new microphone button.
Copy:
- the assistant section no longer claims the tool-call chips are new
(that was a demo change); it leads on the microphone and the battery
tool, which are.
- energy drops the clipped period picker, an internal Horizon fix.
- the Home Assistant section stops conceding the integration gap and
argues we are closing it: 20 to 67 in a month, still accelerating.
- "broken on iOS" becomes "broken on mobile".
* fix(blog,site): third review pass on the version 5 post
Site assets: the 50 marketing shots under static/img/home/horizon are
retaken on the demo's new garden snapshot, so the homepage, the light
and dark pair and the Gladys Plus phone all show the same camera as the
article.
Figures:
- the two close-ups now sit on the inter-card gutters instead of the
top-left corner of the page, which only offers 15px: the house view
card is framed with air on three sides so its radii read, and the
device cards keep a margin all around.
- those device cards are captured at a wide viewport with touch
emulation. pointer:coarse grows every control to the 44px floor, and
the wider column keeps "Sèche-serviettes" and "Lampes de chevet" on
one line.
- new figure for the floating switcher: the dashboard scrolled so a
photo, a chart and a card title all pass under the frosted capsule.
Figures renumbered to keep the reading order.
Copy:
- a paragraph on the switcher, which stays pinned while the dashboard
scrolls under it and frosts what passes through, and stays
pointer-transparent so those widgets remain clickable.
- "86 minor versions" undersold them: they were feature releases, and
semver means nothing outside the project.
- the catalog reached 67 integrations in a little over two weeks, not a
month.
* feat(site): Plus page cleanup and the version 5 video on the homepage
- The Gladys Plus hero phone is recaptured on a demo dashboard trimmed to
large widgets: house view, quick actions, then the controls of a room.
The wall-panel home screen opens on a row of status chips, which inside
a phone bezel reads as clutter. Anyone regenerating these three files
has to trim the demo dashboard the same way.
- Drop the "Gladys Plus en vidéo" section: the video no longer matches
the product. Its translation key and the now-unused embed import go
with it.
- #pricing gets a scroll-margin-top. The element starts with the
monthly/yearly toggle, so without an offset the browser parked that
toggle behind the sticky navbar and the hero button looked like it
landed on the plans.
- Homepage: the Home Assistant comparison video is replaced by the
version 5 announcement.
* fix(css): repair the mobile menu and make the glass actually render
Two bugs, one investigation.
The mobile menu opened but was unreadable: .navbar-sidebar takes its
background from --ifm-navbar-background-color, which this branch made
translucent (0.72) so the bar could frost the page scrolling under it.
On the bar that is 60px of tint; on the sidebar it is the whole screen,
so the page showed straight through the menu. The sidebar now carries
its own ground and its own blur.
Chasing that turned up a second one: every hand-written
-webkit-backdrop-filter was making the build discard the unprefixed
declaration next to it, and current Chromium does not support the
prefixed form at all (verified: only the unprefixed property computes).
So 20 of the 21 backdrop-filters shipped as a no-op, and none of the
Horizon glass was rendering outside Safari. Dropping the hand-written
prefixes and letting autoprefixer own them restores both forms in the
bundle.
The navbar blur moves to a pseudo-element while we are here:
backdrop-filter makes its element a containing block for fixed
descendants, and .navbar-sidebar is a fixed child of .navbar, so now
that the property actually applies it would have collapsed the open menu
into the height of the bar.
* feat(site): version 5 pass on the Home Assistant pages, docs and Docker
Home Assistant comparison and alternative pages:
- drop the embedded comparison video, which no longer matches the
product, along with the id and the two section titles it needed.
- the integrations takeaway stops conceding the gap and argues we are
closing it: 20 to 67 community integrations in a little over two
weeks, still accelerating.
- the interface sections lead on Horizon. Since version 5 this is the
clearest difference between the two projects, so it is argued as such
rather than as "hard to beat": one project hands you a box of cards,
the other hands you a finished dashboard. The alternative page gets a
matching card, first in the list.
Docs:
- the four onboarding screenshots of "Getting started" are retaken on
the Horizon theme, in both languages, with the house step filled in
like the shot it replaces.
- the Docker image moves from :v4 to :v5 in the four install guides.
Bluetooth groundwork (GladysAssistant/Gladys#2935): the docker run and
the compose file now bind the host system bus. BlueZ is only reachable
over it, which is what BLE sensor reading and Matter pairing over BLE
will need, and it already lets the System settings reboot or shut down
the host without spinning up a helper container.
* feat(site): design showdown header, mDNS access docs, lighter onboarding
Header image for the Home Assistant comparison: the Gladys Assistant 5
dashboard and the official Home Assistant demo, captured at the same
viewport and the same scale on the same day, cut along one diagonal. Only
the labels live in HTML, so below 560px they drop out of the picture and
sit under the half they name instead of covering it.
Accessing Gladys now leads with http://gladysassistant.local, the name the
server advertises over mDNS, with the IP scan kept as the fallback for the
networks that block it. The Docker, Docker Compose, Raspberry Pi, Synology
and Freebox Delta pages all run on the host network, which is the condition
the advertisement needs.
The onboarding walkthrough keeps its first screenshot and drops the other
three steps: they are self-explanatory, and the map in the last one now
carries Carto's "API key required" watermark.
Blog screenshots get a small radius, since the article is about a design
built on rounded surfaces.

…EN (#403)
* feat(home): rebuild the homepage on the app's glass design
The homepage still showed the previous interface and led with the starter
kit. It now uses the same visual language as the app: one continuous
scene of soft radial glows, translucent cards that frost it, ink/muted
typography and pill buttons.
Hero: two calls to action, install Gladys or open the online demo. The
starter kit moves down the page, next to the FAQ, as a quiet aside
(French pages only, as before).
Product shots retaken from the app itself, per locale, in WebP at several
widths: dashboard, comfort, scene editor, energy, assistant. They are the
app's default light theme, where the glass reads best, and a dedicated
"light or dark" section puts the two themes side by side so the dark one
still gets its moment. Together they replace the old hero PNG (3.3 MB)
and the CDN videos.
Sections rebuilt on a small design-system stylesheet
(home/horizonStyles.module.css) instead of the ad-hoc inline styles:
features, appearance, compatibilities, principles, testimonials, press,
videos, FAQ, final call to action, newsletter.
The navbar and the footer go frosted over the scene, gated on a class the
page puts on <html> so no other page is affected.
Two fixes along the way: the starter-kit block no longer depends on
`navigator.language`, which could differ between the server-rendered and
the hydrated markup; and the redesign's dead weight is gone (the old
video thumbnails, play.svg, the react-hover-video-player dependency).

* feat(site): carry the Horizon design across the marketing pages
The homepage was the only page on the new design, and ten pages still
showed the previous interface. This extracts the design system the
homepage introduced and puts every marketing page on it.
The shell is now shared. src/css/horizon.css owns the `--gl-*` tokens,
the scene, the typographic ramp and a remap of the Infima variables the
existing pages were already written against (cards, emphasis greys,
primary, button radius). <HorizonPage> wraps a page in it. That remap is
what carries the theme to pages that keep their own stylesheet, so the
sixteen comparison pages convert without their markup being rewritten.
Nine pages each carried their own copy of a screenshot component, all
pointing at the old hero PNG. They now share
components/horizon/GladysScreenshot, so the shots follow the app from one
place; the energy page shows the energy dashboard rather than the home
one. The Gladys Plus hero drops its old phone mockup for the current
mobile app in a bezel drawn in CSS, which also removes the page's only
use of the colour-mode hook.
Converted: Gladys Plus, the starter kit, the sixteen comparison and SEO
pages, the two use-case pages, the development, open-metrics, contact,
legal and payment pages. The documentation and the blog deliberately stay
on the stock Docusaurus theme, which suits long-form reading and does not
fight the theme on upgrades.
Also fixes the homepage footer: the scene sat at z-index 0, which paints
in the positioned layer of the root stacking context and covered the
whole footer. It is a background, so it belongs behind the content.

* docs: recapture every Gladys screenshot on the Horizon theme, FR and EN
The documentation still showed the Tabler interface: a scene was a stack of
always-open cards, a widget was configured in a modal, the dashboard editor had
three fixed columns. None of that exists any more, so a reader following the
docs was looking at a different application from the one on their screen.
Every screenshot that shows Gladys itself is recaptured from the public demo of
`GladysAssistant/Gladys` master — the same fixtures that feed
demo.gladysassistant.com — driven with Playwright at 1440x900, in English and in
French (the demo follows the browser language, so each locale is a real capture
and not a translation of a picture).
349 images across both locales: the dashboard (widget picker, widget forms,
rendered widgets, charts, alarm, camera, gauge, temperature and humidity,
weather, EDF Tempo), the scene editor (every trigger and action card the docs
reference), the integrations (Airplay, Bluetooth, CalDAV, camera, Enedis, energy
monitoring, Google Cast, Matter, Matterbridge, MQTT, Nextcloud Talk, Node-RED,
Nuki, OpenWeather, Sonos, Zigbee2mqtt), Gladys Plus, the Open API scenes, the
MQTT architecture widget and the dashboard hero of `docs/dashboard/intro`.
Screenshots of other people's software — the Alexa and Google Home apps, Apple
and Google account pages, Synology, Nextcloud, VLC, Tasmota, Nuki Web, MQTT
Explorer, Raspberry Pi Imager, Unraid, Freebox OS — are untouched: they are not
Gladys, and the docs would be wrong to redraw them.
Two Gladys screens could not be recaptured and keep their previous image:
`raspberry-pi-setup-in-progress` (the splash of the Raspberry Pi image, served
by another repository) and `plus/open-api/create-open-api-key` (a page of the
authenticated gateway mode, which the demo cannot reach).
No markdown changed: every file keeps its name, so the pages point at the new
pictures as they are. PNGs are written with a 256-colour palette and JPEGs at
quality 85, which keeps the set at 27 MB where a raw capture of the Horizon
gradients would have been 72 MB.

* docs: give every screenshot step its own screen
Follow-up on the Horizon recapture: a number of pictures showed the same
screen several times in a row, because the demo answers the same thing at
each step of a walkthrough. Each one now shows the state its paragraph
describes.
Camera: the integration page before any camera exists, the filled form,
then the form with the picture the "Test connection" button brings back.
The camera widget is configured with the garden camera instead of an
empty selector. The French USB webcam pages use /dev/video0, the address
their text asks the reader to type.
MQTT text state: a device with a text feature, which the demo did not
have, so the picture shows text on the dashboard rather than a battery
level.
Enedis: the page of an instance connected to Gladys Plus, with the button
that opens the Enedis customer area - what the paragraph tells the reader
to click.
Also split apart, same cause: the MQTT broker credentials and the same
screen with the password revealed, permit joining before and after a
device is discovered, the Zigbee device list the energy page points at,
the Node-RED service diagram and the interface link, the fixed and the
computed Wait duration, the device state trigger and its condition, the
speaker actions (one AirPlay, one Google Cast), the energy widget for one
device, the second step of the rate import, and the area chart with axes
- the option defaults to off, so both charts were drawn without them.
The charts are captured full width, where the axes can be read.

* docs: make the screenshots tell the same story as the text
Third pass on the Horizon recapture, on four things the pages got wrong
and a set of French files the first pass never reached.
The MQTT tutorial tells the story of a temperature sensor in the kitchen,
and its pictures showed a battery level. The demo has no such device, so
the pages are given one: the device form filled as the text asks (name,
external id, kitchen), the feature form open on the values the text lists,
the device saved under its room, and the temperature arriving on the
dashboard.
Step 4 of the energy page asks the reader to look at a button on an
"Index" feature. The picture showed a temperature feature, which has no
such button. It is now an electricity meter with its index feature open,
where the button is.
The French Bluetooth pages, and the LAN Manager tutorial that shares their
pictures, keep their own file names (liste-bluetooth, retour-maison-scene,
...), which the English-to-French mapping missed: none of the six had been
recaptured, so both pages still showed the old interface. Same for the
Sonos speaker page, whose French file is add_sonos_speaker.
Also here, from a sweep of every image the docs reference: the alarm
widget on the dashboard, which no capture covered; the gauge, room
temperature and weather panels, which showed their "nothing selected"
error instead of a configured widget; the French "no recent value" state;
and the device the Open API tutorial creates.

* docs: answer the screenshot review, page by page
A review pointed at pages where the picture still showed a different screen
from the one the paragraph describes. Each of them now shows the state its
text asks for.
Scenes. The Open API page asks for two scenes that SET the user present or
away; the pictures were trigger cards, saying the opposite, and are now the
two actions. The Bluetooth and LAN Manager pages showed the demo's "Good
morning" scene: they now show a scene of their own, presence detected then
"user seen at home". The alarm condition read "disarmed" where the text
says armed - "Disarmed" contains "armed", so the option match was picking
the wrong one. The motion trigger was on the luminosity of the presence
sensor rather than its presence, and the light trigger on brightness
rather than on/off. The sunrise trigger sat on "at exact time" where the
text describes an offset; the time condition and the "continue only if"
block were empty forms.
Energy. "Click Import" pointed at the Create wizard instead of the rates
tab. The hierarchy showed two roots where the text explains parent and
child. The Zigbee step showed shutters instead of a consumption device with
its update button. The ZLinky graph carried one series where the text
describes one colour per rate: it now has the six Tempo rates. The Enedis
daily-consumption histogram was the energy widget, not a chart. The
button on an MQTT "Index" feature was below the fold.
Elsewhere. The camera chat showed a conversation about lights and weather
instead of the camera the reader asks for. The Gladys Plus login and
settings steps were the wrong way round. The Sonos widget had no speaker,
the Nuki dashboard showed a Matter lock, the weather panel had no house,
the alarm code and state-expiry fields were below the fold, and the English
"no recent value" badge was cut in half. The MQTT feature form now opens
its advanced settings, where the topic the text says to copy lives.
Also: the French widget search was typed in English, the French rate list
named its contracts in English, and the camera box had no name.

* docs: close the remaining screenshot/text mismatches
Second round of review feedback.
The energy widget of a single device carried no name, so it read as the
whole-home graph next to it; it is now titled after the washing machine
the text names. The "leaving home" scene had an unset scheduled trigger:
it runs every 10 minutes, which is what the paragraph describes. The
Enedis graph was drawn over the last hour where the text talks about
daily consumption; it now spans thirty days. The state-expiry screen
showed 24 hours against a text that says the default is 48.
Three pages pointed at the wrong file, which no capture could fix:
- the French camera page illustrated the RTSP "test the connection" step
with the USB webcam capture, the one the USB section further down uses;
the step below it already shows the tested RTSP form, so the duplicate
is gone;
- the CalDAV Synology and Nextcloud steps both showed the iCloud form.
Synology has its own host in the list, and Nextcloud is the "Other"
case the page already documents;
- the French Zigbee2mqtt message page loaded the English captures while
the French ones existed.
Left as they are: the music widget is a play control because the demo
speaker plays nothing, and the MQTT X capture of the test publish is
third-party software the recapture never covered.

* docs: make the tutorial screenshots show the state their text describes
Third pass over the pages whose image showed the right screen but not the
right state.
Bluetooth / LAN Manager. The tutorial adds a NUT key fob and manages
presence with it; the demo only ships a Bluetooth tracker reporting its
battery, so the images showed the wrong device and the wrong scene:
- "Connect to Gladys" is now the peripheral configuration page, with the
name typed and "Use this device as presence sensor" on, as the text says.
- The device list shows the NUT PG key fob in a room, with its Presence
feature.
- The "homecoming" scene triggers on NUT PG (Presence), not on the demo
motion sensor.
- The "leaving home" scene is what the text describes: an interval trigger
every 5 minutes, then "Check user presence" over the key fob with a
10-minute window. It used to be "User left home", which marks the user
away unconditionally — the opposite of the tutorial.
Scenes. Whole scenes and states that were only half shown:
- Coffee machine: the whole scene (Monday-Friday 07:00, turn the socket on,
wait 30 seconds, turn it off), not one card of it.
- Weekly trigger: Monday to Friday at 07:00, the example of the text.
- Sun trigger: both cards, 30 minutes before sunset and 10 minutes after
sunrise, and the two exact ones on the page above.
- Variable injection: the computed wait, the message, the SMS and the
Zigbee2mqtt payload carry a real variable chip. Tagify only opens its
suggestion list once a character follows "{{", which is why these images
had lost their variables.
- Open API presence triggers: the trigger with its section, as before.
Dashboard. The Tempo widget is captured in January: white and red days only
exist between November and March. The music widget is taken from the
dashboard rather than from the editor preview, where the widget never loads
its speaker — it was a lone play button instead of a player.
Scene editor tour. docs/scenes/intro numbers eight parts of the editor: the
screenshot carries the numbers again, and the list is rewritten for the
editor as it is now (steps that run in order, a parallel action inside a
step, the buttons of the bottom bar).

* docs: fill in the tutorial states the Open API, calendar and HTTP pages describe
Fourth pass, on pages whose screenshot showed an empty form where the text
names concrete values.
Open API. `plus/open-api/back-at-home.png` and `left-home.png` are the whole
scene again, not the action alone: the tutorial drives a "My phone" device
from the API, so the scene reacts to `My phone (Motion)` going On (or Off)
and only then marks the user seen at home or away. The French device page
now writes the same external id as the JSON body right below it
(`mqtt:my-phone-presence`), which is the id the text tells you to keep for
the API call.
Calendar. The "event is coming" trigger holds the example of its paragraph:
the Work and Sport calendars, a name that contains "gym", starting in 10
minutes. The message under it carries the four event variables (name,
location, start, end) instead of a flat sentence — that is what the section
is about.
HTTP request. The action shows the POST method and the IFTTT webhook URL the
step asks you to paste, instead of an empty form.
Bluetooth presence scanner: the scan interval is the tutorial's 2 minutes.

* docs: keep the interface accent colours in the compressed screenshots
The PNGs were written on a 256-colour palette built by median cut. On a
Horizon screenshot the gradient background eats that palette and the accent
comes back desaturated: the blue of a switch, rgb(70,127,207), was stored as
rgb(106,126,154). A switch rendered slate no longer reads as "on" — a
reviewer read the Bluetooth presence scanner as disabled when it is enabled,
and the screenshot was the only reason to think so.
Octree keeps it: the same switch is now rgb(69,126,205), two units off the
live rendering, and the files are smaller than median cut produced. So every
PNG of the batch is captured again and written that way — 221 images, the
accents (buttons, links, selected chips, on/off states) are the colours the
interface actually uses.
Only the PNGs: the JPEGs were never quantized, so re-taking them would just
churn the random data of the demo charts for no gain.

* docs: quote the button of the scene editor as French names it
The rewritten tour of the editor cited "Ajouter une action parallèle"; the
button reads "Ajouter une action en parallèle"
(editScene.addParallelActionButton). The English side already matched.

Description
Docs-only PR: adds the living specification
docs/specs/bluetooth-ble-sensors.md, answering the community proposal in topic 10555 (BLE sensors decoded by an external integration, e.g. Theengs). No code change — spec first, per theAGENTS.mdspec-first process.What the spec defines:
burstleases for today's pairing/presence/lookup scans, expiring auto-renewedstreamleases for continuous sensor listening) replaces the hand-rolledscanCounter/scanTimerarbitration; a single advertisement frame format (MAC, address type, RSSI, name, manufacturer data, service data + UUIDs, core timestamp — binary as base64,raw/adapterfields reserved for phase 2); core-side filters (MAC prefix, manufacturer id, service UUID) and throttling (per-lease token bucket + per-address dampener, with honest dropped-frame accounting).subscribeAdvertisements()on the service surface, consumed viagetService('bluetooth')(the existing nuki/tasmota→mqtt pattern).external-integrations.md§B.16 capture-and-relay principle applied to BLE: manifestbluetoothobserver field with a filter ceiling,/api/integration/v1/bluetooth/leasehost API (60 s TTL, one lease per integration), batchedbluetooth-advertisementWS stream, and a distinct, revocable user consent (continuous BLE listening reveals people's presence).@abandonware/noble(which exposes no passive-scan control); multi-adapter multiplexing deferred (noble is one-adapter-per-process); GATT over the external API and any decoding in the core are out of scope entirely.Also in the diff, per the living-spec rules: a cross-reference at the end of
external-integrations.md§B.16, and the new spec added to theAGENTS.mdspec list.Forum
